瓦良格从苏联买来，一直停放在大连造船厂，现在过去六年了，很多洋鬼子说，哪个会成为中国的航母，真的可能么?看了图片那个破铁架子在俄罗斯那里放了那么多年，引擎什么都没有，国内还特意买了两个引擎装上，有人说准备给国内做教练康亩，或者是国内第一个装在飞机的大号的船，
根据洋鬼子的新闻网站上说的，"中国将于2009年在上海开工建造第一艘航母，中国军方着眼于到2015年前建成两艘中型航母。两航母都采用常规动力，而不是核动力，排水量大约在5～6万吨，将隶属于中国人民解放军海军南海舰队，主要用于巡视南中国海。上海长江口附近的长兴岛已经建成了世界顶级造船厂，该造船厂中的一个港区将用来建造航空母舰。该造船厂计划从俄罗斯进口一批电动控制零件，同时也向国内的军工制造企业下了订单。中国还希望从俄罗斯获得建造航母的关键技术，如果这种愿望能够实现，航母的建造周期将大为缩短，新航母有望提前2年完工。与此同时，中国东北城市大连的造船专家们也将完成6万吨级航母“瓦良格”号的改装任务，“瓦良格”将被用来训练舰载机飞行员和航母舰员。 "

中国2015年准备搞航母，不知道了，以往中国都喜欢蚂蚁啃大象，中国的潜艇多凶猛阿啊。

I HAD little interest in Tibet before the outbreak of violence in Lhasa on March 14 and my feelings towards the Dalai Lama and his community of Tibetan exiles in India’s Dharamsala were largely neutral. The Tibetans I met during a trip to China’s Jiuzhaigou seemed well-off and friendly enough.

On March 14, hell broke loose in Lhasa and the pictures of peaceful, studious monks in your article, Test of Faith (StarTwo, April 15), cannot erase the images of Tibetan lamas joining hooligans on a destructive, murderous rampage through Lhasa. Shockingly, lamas in other parts too engaged in similar acts of violence. Many feel these monks have betrayed not only their vows but also the trust of believers who look to them for spiritual solace.

Throughout the March riots, reports in the western media were overwhelmingly in favour of the exiles and the rogue monks. Selectively cropped or mis-labelled pictures were fed to the worldwide audience together with images of beaten and bloodied Tibetans (in Nepal) similar to those in the April 15 article. Strangely, no mention was made of the brutality of the Lhasa rioters or the sufferings of their Han and Muslim Hui victims.

I am writing in response to a column titled "The Olympics should be used to voice political concerns" (CT, April 10).
This column was narrow-minded and full of misleading information by making highly biased claims without giving any serious facts.

For example, it accused China as a state with "ongoing state-sponsored cultural assimilation and religious oppression to Tibetans." This is far from the truth. China is a multi-national state with 56 ethnic groups, including Tibetans.

Tibet is known to the Chinese as the XiZang Autonomous Region, which is a province of China. Although 92.8 percent of the population in the Tibet Province is of Tibetan decent, it only accounts for less than half of all Tibetans in China. More than half of the Tibetan population lives in neighboring provinces and all throughout China. In addition, the Tibetan population increased from 1.2 million under the Dalai Lama to almost three million by 2007.   Read more | Submit comments

In my article, “Free Tibet…later” of April 7, 2008, I expressed my reservations that the Tibet brouhaha was being deliberately manipulated by a public relations outfit in New York or London or Paris, with the sole purpose of embarrassing the Chinese on their coming-out party that is this summer’s Beijing Olympic Games.

And the reason for my misgivings is the curious fact that right next to Tibet is the Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, populated by Muslim Uyghurs who have been struggling for independence from the Han Chinese as long as the Tibetans have. These people have even exploded several bombs to express their anger and frustration, but no one pays any attention to them.

Why not? Obviously because they have no high-powered PR firm coordinating their moves, no Richard Gere or Mia Farrow to give their struggle a Hollywood cachet that would appeal to Western liberals.

Dalai Lama has begun roaming around the world as some Westerns whip up their anti-China wave in recent days. This is also the case in 2007, when a new round of the "China threat theory" re-emerged, he made a rush tour of Germany, Canada and the United States.

Although the Dalai Lama insists that his trips had "had nothing to do with politics", each of his trips, however, has been "timed so accurately" that people doubt his allegation of "having nothing to do with politics." The Global and Mail (newspaper) of Canada even reports that Dalai's meetings with (foreign leaders) are precisely set in an extremely sensitive moment.
